A Better Place
In a surly, curt, highly acerbic answer Karl Rove gave During a recent New York Times Magazine interview, When asked, "What about Iraq and the economy?" He bristled, defending President Bush's actions: "The world is a better place with Saddam Hussein gone."
I read this comment, yesterday, at lunchtime. Around 2 a.m., this morning, I bolted from a weird dream: I was wandering, aimlessly, through Baghdad, Its desolate, cratered streets, Not certain how I got there or what I should do next.
And everywhere I stared, there were no people — Sunnis, Shias, Kurds, Sadrists, al-Qa'eda, U.S. troops — Just a contagion of identical billboards and posters Showing caricatures of Bush, Cheney, and Rove, reading, "THE WORLD'S A BETTER PLACE WITH THEM GONE."
